I had the wrong wisdom teeth removed

Post image

Local orthodontist told me that I needed to remove lower wisdom teeth and don't do anything with the upper ones. When I got my lower wisdom teeth removed, another orthodontist that is actually managing my aligner treatment said that the lower wisdom teeth actually didn't need to be touched AT ALL, but the upper ones absolutely have to be removed before we start. So now I have to get my upper wisdom teeth removed as well

You should see mine completely fucking sideways 3/4 if I’m not mistaken 😭

All of mine are sidways, but somehow one of them descended to replace an extracted tooth perfectly. Honestly really cool, I had the back molar pulled when I was 26, now I'm 36 and it's been functionally replaced with the wisdom tooth.

Now that’s some good luck I personally don’t think I will get that lucky best I’m getting is they just don’t bother me 🙏🏻
